For those of you monitoring the Zend Framework SVN the last few weeks, you will likely have noticed a huge surge of activity as contributors have scrambled to complete code in time for the 1.10.0 release. The release is getting close, and I'm happy to announce an ALPHA release of 1.10.0.
Please note that the alpha is only available on the ZF site, not from the zend.com CDN.
New features include:
- Zend_Barcode, contributed by Mickael Perraud
- Zend_Cache_Backend_Static, contributed by Pádraic Brady
- Zend_Cache_Manager, contributed by Pádraic Brady
- Zend_Exception - previous exception support, contributed by Marc Bennewitz
- Zend_Feed_Pubsubhubbub, contributed by Pádraic Brady
- Zend_Feed_Writer, contributed by Pádraic Brady
- Zend_Filter_Compress/Decompress, contributed by Thomas Weidner
- Zend_Filter_Null, contributed by Thomas Weidner
- Zend_Log::factory(), contributed by Mark van der Velden and Martin Roest
- Zend_Log_Writer_ZendMonitor, contributed by Matthew Weier O'Phinney
- Zend_Markup, contributed by Pieter Kokx
- Zend_Service_LiveDocx, contributed by Jonathan Marron
- Zend_Service_WindowsAzure, contributed by Maarten Balliauw
- Zend_Validate_Barcode, contributed by Thomas Weidner
- Zend_Validate_Callback, contributed by Thomas Weidner
- Zend_Validate_CreditCard, contributed by Thomas Weidner
- Zend_Validate_PostCode, contributed by Thomas Weidner
In addition, Zend_Tool has had undergone a ton of refactoring to eliminate issues and bottlenecks, as well as to add a number of new features:
- New CLI runner with home directory and configuration support
- New providers for Model generation, DbAdapter setup, Layouts and Form Generation
- Default project structure comes with logging support in the ErrorController
This is an ALPHA release, and should by no means be used in production. There are a few components that are very new to the repository, and some recent additions that may affect execution (in particular, support for previous exceptions in Zend_Exception). Additionally, there are a few pieces of code not quite complete that may merge to trunk in the next couple weeks; as such, the alpha release should not be considered feature complete.
Please DO, however, run it through the wringer: we want to know what works and more importatly, what doesn't, so that we can make the 1.10 release as stable and solid as possible.
Our tentative release schedule is:
- 1.10.0alpha1: today
- 1.9.7: Tuesday, 5 January 2010
- 1.10.0beta1: Thursday, 7 January 2010, or Friday, 8 January 2010
- 1.10.0rc1: Thursday, 14 January 2010
- 1.10.0: Thursday, 21 January 2010
Speaking for myself, it's looking like a stellar start to 2010 for Zend Framework!

Is support for OpenID with Google OpenID now granted with ZF 1.10 ?
http://www.phpjack.com/content/solar-framework-shorts-creating-your-own-openid-auth-adapter
And relooked ZF OpenID over.. No changes since 2008... Its stale and if it isn't updated soon am going to have to look towards another library which is sad because back when I starting using Zend OpenID, while it lacked 2.0 support it was the easiest to use and clearly documented.
Hacking around its lack of updates (I have my own Consumer.php that overrides/fixes a few things) is getting harder and harder.
or is it planned for another version
lordspace, the version number is correct (1.10) though I certainly wish we were already at 2.10!
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV2/Zend+Framework+2.0+Roadmap
it makes sense then.
@lordspace, @myschizobuddy: 2.0 has not been branched, but we will likely do so not long after 1.10.0 is released so we can begin work on it; actual usage of namespaces is planned. 1.10.0 *is* an official version, not an internal version. It's not uncommon in OSS projects to go past the .9 in mini and minor versions.
@gabeide, cyberlot: we do plan to update our OpenID support, but are currently short on resources both internally and in the community to provide support for the 2.0 specification; hopefully, following 1.10, we will be able to do so.
